FeedNova

This FeedNova project investigates the valorisation of organic waste through the production of nutrientdense chicken bran as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. This project tackles two critical issues in chicken farming: escalating commercial feed costs and the environmental effect of uncontrolled organic waste. High feed prices diminish farmers' profitability, while enormous amounts of agricultural residue and food scraps contribute to landfill overflow, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution. To address these challenges, FeedNova develops organic chicken bran by recycling biodegradable waste such as eggshells, banana stems, anchovy heads, and coconut dregs. The production process consists of systematic collection, sorting, fermentation, drying, grinding, and formulation. Fermentation is the vital phase that considerably increases protein, fiber, and mineral content, resulting in a nutrient-rich and balanced chicken feed. The finished product of this project potentially enhances chicken growth, immunity, and productivity while minimising dependency on expensive commercial feeds. At the same time, the initiative implements a successful waste-to-wealth approach that diverts organic waste from landfills, reduces environmental pollution, and promotes circular economy principles. Finally, FeedNova presents a scalable, long-term innovation that balances economic feasibility and environmental responsibility. The initiative promotes agricultural resilience and global food security by transforming organic waste into high-quality chicken feed.
